I am of the opinion you can't do that. And you shouldn't. Beauty standards are not generated by media or the patriarchy. They are sometime abused and exploited by those things, yes. But you can't just change the standard to fix that problem.

Advertisements are always an exaggeration of what people actually want. And there are always going to be people that exaggerate that in their head even more.
